My 2 month old daughter will be happy and cooing and then for no apparent reason scream like she is in pain. It is killing me when she does this.
She is a breast fed baby that has started to fuss more lately. She also seems to be more needy, she will get upset after a few minutes of not being held. I am trying to reasearch but any help is appreciated. I cannot see any blood in the stool and the stool is yellow to greenish (appears to be normal).
Thanks in advance.

table foods? I'm not talking about steaks, but stuff that will be easy for her to eat, like mashed taters and gravy. What about baby cereal? She's taking almost a whole bottle of formula, and it isn't satisfying her at all. And please don't tell me to talk to her pediatrician. All he'll say is wait until she's 4 months old. She'll starve to death by then!! And don't lecture me, either. I'm just asking. Anyone not giving good answers WILL be reported.

and it discusses the possible link of autism and pitocin. The second article made me rethink and relax a little, autism connect pitocin and pretzels, but ended linking me to an even scarier discovery. Chlorobutanol is the substance used for euthanization. It is also one of the main ingredients in Pitocin. That's a fact. There is actual lawsuits taking place becasue of the use of this dangerous chemical. It is also found in epidurals. What do you think?

HI am European and i am not familiar with FDA inspection of food for infants in USA. I am concerned because my infant wants ONLY non organic Gerber meat jar food: Turkey Rice, Chicken in Gravy, Vegetable Chicken, Chicken noodle... only those few jars.

From Organic jars he is forcefully vormitting.... I have no idea why.

I still a lot breast feed him so i know he is getting all nutritions from there but daily he gets about 2 - 3 jars of Gerber named above. I am concerned about hormones, antibiotics and pesticides in this food. Isn't that FDA (or other org) tested and approved as it is in Europe?

My baby is spitting as well home cooked food. He is almost 11 months and he is such a way. Can't eat solids too much, immediatly vormitts. he is great size, got teeth late at 9 months, very alive and healthy baby... Should i be concerned about Gerber meat products?

I by myself usually prefer organic food... but my baby does't yet... Please advise. Thank you and have a great day!

What is the consensus on piercing the ears of a baby girl?


I was just curious cause I think it is tantamount to child abuse.
You've just poked holes in the ears of a person who is either unwilling or can not give permission to do so. If you did the same to any other person you would be charged with assault and battery.

Do you know any website with list of foods and drinks you shouldn't eat while breasfeeding as they make the baby gassy? My son has been suffering from gas a lot and I don't really know what to avoid, because I am rarely gassy myself. I tried to give him mylicon drops, but didn't help at all, so I want to try to avoid particular foods and will see if it helps. He is three weeks old.

he's 2 1/2 months old and i gave him Similac Concentrate in the begining. it gave him severe diareah. i switched to the wal-mart brand powder (b/c its cheaper) the diareah went away. He cries a LOT when he's on that brand though...like he has gas or cramps. i switched him back to Similac Powder (only b/c we can get it for free through the WIC program - we cant get the wal-mart brand b/c they dont have a contract with WIC). the diareah came back. i dont know what to do.

i have talked to my doctor about this, but they say just to keep buying him different formulas until i find one that suits him....I CANT DO THAT! my husband lost his job and its been hard even buying groceries for us and our other son (he's 15 months)

do i let him cry and be in pain or do i give him the stuff that gives him diareah?? i just dont know what to do.

Any suggestions? and PLEASE dont be rude....i have tried everything....

The American Association of Pediatrics indicates that babies born at less than 23 weeks of age and 400 grams in weight are not considered viable....Does it mean to live/survive?

My daughter is 7 months old and is chewing on anything and everything. However, she hasn't had any teeth come in yet. She's been doing this for about 3 months now. Is there a certain age that I should be looking for before becoming worried? I won't see her pediatrician again until she is 9 months old. I could always make an appointment if I need to...

I am the worst driver in existense and because of that do not have my liscense. I have a dilemma though. I have a 10 week old baby who needs to get to doctors appointments. My family is very unreliable so I cant count on them to get to the doctor. Does anyone know of any transportation services that will get me there. I refuse to take her on public transportation for obvious reasons. I live in the Philadelphia area. Any help would be appreciated
